An American Civil Liberties Lawyer
(ACLU) lawyer said Friday that a trial over North Carolina's law on
transgender bathroom use is being pushed back.

House Bill 2 prohibits transgender
people from using the bathroom of their choice in government
buildings, including schools, and blocks cities and municipalities
from enacting measures that protect LGBT people from discrimination.

The ACLU is representing three
plaintiffs in the case.

Attorney James Esseks told the AP that
an order issued by the judge in the case means a delay in the case
from November until May. Without explanation, the judge partly
granted a request to delay the case.
